ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Theatre of the Greek type, within Patara’s territory (modern Kelemis, Gelemis) in Lycia in south Turkey. It was built in Imperial times (1st-2nd cent. AD) with a southeast orientation. It features a cavea of great dimensions and a three-storey skene with five doorways, from which the ground floor and the first floor are preserved. The cavea is buttressed by corner towers and there was a temple on its top. The construction was completed under Tiberius (14-37 AD). The theatre had suffered damage due to an earthquake but it was rebuilt in 147 AD by Quintus Velius Titianus and his daughter, who funded the reconstruction of a new skene from foundation and the 11th row of seats at the upper of the cavea. |
